    Jenny, I’ve seen so many of these interviews. I’ve cried, I’ve laughed and with yours, I did neither. I just sat here in awe of you. In awe of your strength and intelligence. You are a different kind of smart. Mixed with your personality, it’s the “change the world” type of smart. Im sincerely rooting for you, and I’m proud of the woman you are and the woman you are going to become.

      Without therapy for the damage and trauma she suffered as a child, proper sustained help for her addiction and a safe place to live how can Jenny move forward?
      The root of her problems lie in the dreadful abuse she suffered as a child. That happened because her mum had to work all hours, forced to leave her child with increasingly unsuitable people because there’s no safety net of support for families in poverty. There’s no value given to so called unskilled jobs and people are treated like cattle. Meanwhile not many miles away from Jenny live people drowning in wealth and privilege where the most ridiculous examples of this type ie the Kardashians, utter phrases such as “women should just get off their f…ing asses and work”. because “ no body wants to work today”. It makes me want to scream.
      The question also that needs to be asked is how did the men who inflict violence on children and women get to this place where they feel entitled to hurt others? . The common thread in these stories are abusive, intolerant men and their utter disregard for the dignity or well being of others. Jenny is an amazing articulate woman who deserves better.
      There is no social justice.

    This breaks my heart. She's clearly a lovely human being, very articulate, passionate, and honest. I've known addicts. They are as various in nature as all people on this planet, good, bad and otherwise. But this woman was lovely to listen to. Thank you Jenny for sharing your story. I honestly hope you find your way back to your family in some capacity. It's clearly something that would bring some joy into your life. All the best.

    Jenny, I’m from Illinois, I know where you were brought up and I’m sorry for the conditions and for the things that happened to you.
    As someone who could be your mother at 59 can I ask you, please call your mother she worries constantly about you.
    You said your worst fear was to die alone.
    What if your mom died and you called her one last time to talk and she was gone?
    Call to tell her, I love you Mom.
    I’ll call you back next week, time doesn’t wait.
    You’re so fortunate to have family.
    I have one person in my immediate family so as a mother yourself, please call your own mom she’s deadly worried.

    Jenny hearing your story was difficult. Im 37 and it sounds like we have been through very similar things and i can remember feeling the same way when i was using. The hardest conversation i have ever had was when i told my mom i was pregnant and a herion addict. I was so ashamed. But it was the best thing i ever did. We are so close now because of it. Im now 4 years clean. We do recover and you can too. With love and support you can achieve sobriety and recovery. I will pray for you. You deserve a life you can be proud of and your girls deserve u. Be honest with your mom and your kids. Once you heal and forgive yourself they will too.

    The one thing she said that resonated with me was that, 'everyone is afraid of change.' The truth is, not everyone is. I can remember being afraid of change at one point. I just wanted to continue doing what was familiar to me. Until the pain got severe enough. And then I knew something had to change. I was very fortunate to have been in a place where I had opportunities to be exposed to folks who had already gone through enormous change and they were willing to help me find the change that I needed and wanted. I suppose that was key. At that point I truly wanted to change. Pain is a great motivator but shame is a great disabler. I hope that one day Jenny finds it inside of herself to seek the help she needs and find the motivation to change her life. ✌❤🙏

    23:14 "What emotions do you go through now ... are you depressed?"
    Jenny's answer of "very" doesn't surprise me, simply based on (my assumption) that she doesn't:
    1) eat healthy, and
    2) probably doesn't eat *enough*
    And if she has genetic SNPs on top of that (like MTHFR), she needs specific types of B vitamins, which are critical for energy production and for the brain to work properly.

    Jenny, please call your mom and talk to your kids. They just want to hear from you and you’ll feel so much better. I’m so sorry this happened to you, you have to work through your trauma. I’m a recovering alcoholic/addict and I’m trying so hard to be a good mom and person. There is always hope just believe. You’re a beautiful woman.

    It can be done. My partner of 19 years is a recovering heroin addict. He's fallen off the wagon twice during our years together. Once for 3 months, once for 9 months. Suboxone recovery after...tough to get to zero/clean but it CAN be done. He's 63 this year. Clean, and we are happy. We keep chickens, walk our dog, grow veg. It really can be done. Not often, but it IS possible with a loving non- using person ( lover, parent, friend, support home) and a suboxone support clinic and, for him, N.A.

    Oh Jenny I would so love to see you break free of your addiction to drugs. You strike me as an authentic soul and I could imagine being your friend. You are trying to be self sufficient even as you try to exist on the street. I think if you got the right support you could break free of that which burdens you. You have already proved to be a survivor. Iam sorry you have suffered such horrendous abuse in your life. You deserve to thrive, you deserve to have loving support, you deserve peace on this earth. For what it is worth I will pray for you from this day forward. Bless you.

    Dear heart, thank you for sharing your life experiences. I'm gutted to hear yet another avoidable tragic story. You are a victim of your childhood perpetuated by an ignorant, incompassionate society. I'm praying you get the help you so deserve. You are smart, strong, beautiful....you can do it even though it's so hard due to a lack of services and the freaking roadblocks and strings to get it. Ty Mark, please keep these testimonials coming to open peoples eyes and change the systems. Child advocacy, drug education/ prevention and treatment, mental health services, parenting education, and reconcilliation programs for parents in recovery to reunite with their kids and families. I'm 52 sober 25 yrs. I had support, resources, the desire to get clean. I'm lucky, blessed and pray the same for ALL.

    Jenny, if you are reading this I want to say how brave and strong you are and Im so so sorry for all the pain and trauma you have gone through in your life. It is understandable that you turned to drugs in an effort to feel better and escape your pain, and now it seems it only led to more pain and you are feeling stuck in this terribly painful place w no way out. But you have a good heart and want good things for your family and for yourself too. I will be praying for you and whatever you believe or dont believe I have been surprised many times at the power of prayer and I hope you might just experiment w it and ask for help, and see what happens. I understand how you feel shame to contact your mom and your girls but i hope that you will and let them know you love them and tell them where you are, let them know how you are, from the heart just like you shared here. I know they will be so happy to hear from you. You need help to get to a better place and i hope and pray you find a way to turn things in a better direction for yourself. Just find that one little thing you can do each day to turn things around or to make your life just a little bit better. Reach out for help. You deserve it! and you can do it! You are very strong. Be brave and get well soon. 💗 much love to you!

    Jenny, have you ever thought about trying a methadone clinic? There are a lot of addicts who are able to transition to methadone replacement therapy and can function so much better. I don't know if California has help with paying for it, but it's really helped a lot of people who haven't been successful quitting cold turkey. Then eventually you can taper down off that slowly. Once you are stable.
    I wish you all the luck!

    You are an absolute PILLAR! It’s never too late to talk to your moms, “Clean or NOT” It might give her the opportunity to at least love you how she can. It sounds like you’ll really regret denying your Mother‘s chance to have a relationship with you - regardless if it’s awkward at first. It’s never as bad as what we build it up to be. That’s why we laugh at ourselves after - how scared were for much less than it was worth. You’re a very articulate person and I would love to bump into someone as pleasant as you. We’re all not perfect specimens. I wish you so much continued strength and healing. ❤️
